Advocacy: role cards

You are a professor of English. You see digital humanities as an anathema. You would never use the term “data” for the literary texts you analyse in your research.

You are an experimental psychologist. You believe passionately that it’s vital that data is shared to ensure replication of research. If you don’t share data it’s basically bad research.

You are a social geographer. You reuse some government data, but you think the long interviews you do in your research are too sensitive.

You are an astronomer. Your collaborative projects generate terabytes of data. Open access data and publishing is second nature.

You are a medical researcher doing clinical trials. You have vast experience of secure use of personal information.

You are a physicist who regularly works with demanding industry partners. You have an interest in the commercial aspects of your work.
